Product Details

Product Description

The set of four black ash-wood and rope seat dining chairs known as the Gio Ponti 646 "Leggera" for Cassina is a celebrated masterpiece in chair design, testament to Cassina's expert craftsmanship. With its sleek lines reminiscent of the traditional Chiavari chair, the "Leggera" is the definitive wooden chair and a prominent example of the collaboration between Gio Ponti, Cesare Cassina, and the talented joinery experts at the company. As an Italian architect and founder of Domus, Gio Ponti (1891-1979) is renowned for his focus on surface and his penchant for simplicity in the relationship between form and structure. From the outset of his career, Ponti's work was innovative, eschewing the prevalent neoclassicism of early 20th-century architecture. Ponti saw the architect as a cultural ambassador and a reflection of the new bourgeois taste. Our atelier has lovingly restored these iconic chairs, which display slight signs of use and the passage of time, adding to their charm and character.
